2013 Spring Boot Drive

Dear Friend and Neighbor,

We hope you had a pleasant holiday season. The approach of summer means we must again ask for your financial support to keep your community volunteer fire department in business. Your support over the years is very much appreciated. More than half of our funding comes from local community donations. You will not receive any phone solicitations benefiting the volunteer fire department. We do not condone or participate in any type of “cold-call” marketing. All donations are 100% tax deductible and are put directly into operating and maintaining this department.

Burning Safety

Remember during this season when people are clearing their yards to burn your yard waste safely. Yard waste fires what get out of control contribute to uncontrolled forest fires during this time of year.

Guidelines for safe burning can be found at Florida Division of Forestry's website

Holiday Cooking Safety Reminder

Keep Your Holidays From Going Up in Flames!

Chaires Capitola Volunteer Fire Department Offers Fire Prevention Tips

for a Safe and Festive Holiday Season

 

The Chaires Capitola Volunteer Fire Department Reminds you don’t be a Doofus and be safe while cooking and celebrating this holiday season


 

 

 

For most of us, the holiday season represents a time for family festivities and good cheer. What few of us consider is that the holiday season is a time when there is an increased risk of home fires. According to the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association), many households engage in holiday activities that serve as some of the leading causes of U.S. home fires, including cooking. Christmas trees, candle usage and holiday decorations also significantly contribute to the seasonal causes of home fires. Add to that the hectic nature of the holidays, when people are trying to accomplish multiple tasks at one time, and the chance for home fires grows even further.
